Kamala Harris And Democrats Are Not To Blame For The Trump Victory

Like many millions of other Americans, I was shocked at Trump's victory in the recent election.

The voters knew that Trump was an inveterate liar, and voted for him anyway.

The voters knew Trump was a convicted criminal, and voted for him anyway.

The voters knew Trump had numerous criminal trials pending, and voted for him anyway.

The voters knew Trump was a racist, and voted for him anyway.

The voters knew Trump was a sex abuser, and voted for him anyway.

The voters knew Trump opposed reproductive freedom, and voted for him anyway.

The voters knew Trump played fast and loose with critical intelligence (including stealing and hiding top secret documents), and voted for him anyway.

Why did this happen? How could it have happened?

Some are trying to blame Kamala Harris. They say she was a bad candidate. Bullshit! The Democratic base loved her. She trashed Trump in their only debate. And she was a tireless campaigner who gave great campaign speeches.

Some are trying to blame President Biden - saying if he had dropped out earlier and allowed Democrats to have a competitive primary things would have been different. Nonsense! 

And some are trying to blame the Democratic Party. They say the party is broken and has abandoned workers. That's also ridiculous!

The party raised over a billion dollars from small donors, and had a massive get out the vote effort. And it has been true to workers. It is the Republicans who have blocked all efforts to help workers.

The reason Trump won can be summed up in one sentence. A majority of voters didn't want to vote for a woman (misogyny) who was Black and Asian (racism). 

I wish it wasn't true, but most voters were racists, misogynists, or both. That's a sad fact in a country that claims to believe in equality and opportunity for all.
